CHAPTER TWO

"Ohayō gozaimasu everyone," Mikan greeted with a smile, she finally obviously recovered from her break-up with Natsume days ago.

"Good morning," her classmates replied her with a beam.

Just then, Natsume stood up from his seat and walked towards the door, passing her. When they were about to meet in the middle, the door burst wide open revealing another raven-haired lad. Mikan, who was previously looking in front of her and panicking, turned towards Sasuke and greeted, "Good morning Sasuke-sama" ignoring Natsume who was obscurely staring and hurt by her ignorance of him.

Sama They all thought, remembering how she greeted him. The class sweat dropped. They turned to the lad with crimson eyes and found a smirk plastered on his face before vanishing out of the room. He really is through with Mikan, isn't he? They thought in unison and turned to the brunette. They gasped with bewilderment when they found out that both Mikan and Sasuke were also gone. Where did the three go? They all asked themselves. Sakura meanwhile and Naruto were just sitting confidently away as much as they can from each other and with the others; he with Sumire and she with Koko, much to her dismay Ruka's still loyal to her deadly scientist / girlfriend.

"Sasuke," the chestnut-haired girl called the boy known as Sasuke, "wait"

He stopped, she held his hand. He looked at her. She angled her head to meet his eyes. They stared at each other. She smiles. He smirks. Later on, they laughed and sat on their no. 1 place –the cherry blossoms. He rests his head on her head atop his shoulder. They sighed. The tree's leaves fell, making a very romantic scene while a certain raven from afar watch them with awe and jealousy; hatred to himself. It should be him (Natsume) in the scene with her and not him (Sasuke). He breathes out. He stood and finally left, 'tonight, it'll be my turn again'

"Yuu, I have a favour to ask you," Natsume called when he spotted the guy he wants

"What is it Natsume-kun?" he asked, stuttering

"Make illusions for me," he stated

"W what?" he asks again. Natsume grabbed his collar and said something to him quietly so that no one but them could hear.

Back to the two 'known-to-be' new / old lovers sitting under the tree

"Sasuke, what are you planning?" she asks her partner

"Plan?" he confirmed, not sure of what she meant

"I mean, who you are planning to dance with during, you know, the last dance?" she added

"No one," he monotonously replied

"Oh," her in-came reply, her voice with a hint of sadness. He chuckles while questioning, "Who do you think?"

She just shrugged, trying to avoid his gaze. Seeing this, he squeezed her hand. She forcefully turns to his direction. He cupped her cheeks and stared at her intense brown eyes.

"Want to dance with me?" he asked her. She smiles and snaked her arms around his neck. She played with his hair. He slowly inclined his lips, forming a smile. She hugged him as she whispers in his ear; "I do" She stood and finally left. He stared at her retreating figure, smirking.

That night, it was raining heavily. Thunders and lightning ruled the skies. Mikan, who was once peacefully sleeping, woke up when she fell from her bed and couldn't sleep anymore when she noticed the weather. She rolled on her sheets, uncomfortable. She hid inside her blanket, hoping to find refuge but failed to. She tried to wear earplugs but it'll still pass through. Listening to music is useless. Covering her head with pillows is hopeless but nonetheless, she didn't scream. Just then, her room lights flickered until it finally turned off and the wind suddenly blew her windows open. She panicked inside, afraid and agitated. What scared her more was that there's a silhouette formed outside her windows. She started grabbing what was near her, even if it isn't sharp as long as it'll give her a little defence from the intruder. "Don't you dare take another step, mister" she warned, trying to be brave but failed to. She was about to attack when a fire was lit in his palms, producing a small glow that would be enough to decipher his identity.

"Natsume, w what are you doing here?" Mikan sighed in relief with her hands raised and holding her brush. Natsume gave a little laugh as he jumped on her floor and walk towards her.

"You're using a brush to defend yourself?" he said, chuckling

Mikan, noticing her stupidity, instead brushed her hair while saying another stupid excuse, "No, um… I was using this brush to brush my hair. See?"

"You look like an idiot" he commented, back on his stoic face. She raised her brows and crossed her arms but obviously and clearly, she was hurt. He silenced himself.

"What do you want?" she irritably asked him when a flash of lightning and sounds of thunders were heard. She flinched in terror and unknowingly hugged the person near her. When she finally came to her senses, she gradually loosens her grip but Natsume didn't want to. Instead, he hugged her more. Mikan was shocked. "Please… Just this once, let's stay like this" Mikan couldn't say anything. She found herself flabbergasted by his sudden actions and words. And when she finally slept while hugging him in her Queen-sized bed, Yuu stepped out from the trees. He looked at them. Natsume just stared at him but if you observe him properly, he was smiling at Yuu –another gesture of his thank you. The weather changed, her lights turned on and Yuu finally left them. But unknown to them all, "Natsume Hyuuga, your style's not bad but it'll still be me who'll win in terms of her" the guy smirked and finally left.

The next day, as the brunette opened her eyes, she felt that she was hugging something or rather someone. She cleared her sight and found out that it was… a pillow. Nonetheless, she still remembers everything that happened that night. It's just that, she couldn't believe it. She sighs. I could be dreaming. It's impossible that Natsume would be he- She couldn't finish her sentence. She wears her slippers and walk towards her mini desk that lies in the middle of her special star room. She grabs the item… a heart inside a diamond-filled star pendant. She smiles.

"Hey idiot, wear this" the raven-haired with piercing red eyes said while tossing the object to his girl friend. The hazel-haired and eyed girl got it. She gave him a beam, "What's this?"

"It's for you. You better not lose it and I want you to wear it every day" he demanded. Mikan raised her brows while scrutinizing the thing –a necklace. He abruptly hugged her from the back. She turned her head to him. "It's one of a kind," he uttered, "the star is you –my star that holds my heart" he added. Mikan smiled.

"Natsume"
